Claims
1. Cosmetic composition intended for holding the hair which contains, in a cosmetic acceptable medium, from 0.02 to 15% by weight of at least one of milk protein and milk protein hydrolysate and from 0.1 to 10% by weight of keratin hydrolysate of weight average molecular weight between 100 and 200,000, relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein the keratin hydrolysate is obtained by hydrolysis of keratin originating from hair, wool, skin, bristles, silks, feathers, scales, hooves or horns, and can contain quaternary groups grafted on the peptide chain or at the end of the chain.
2. Composition according to claim 1, which further contains from 0.1 to 2% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of optionally crosslinked acrylic acid polymers, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, the sodium salts of carboxymethylcellose and ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymers.
3. Composition according to claim 1, wherein the keratin hydrolysate is selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) hydrolysates of weight average molecular weight approximately 100,000 obtained by moderate hydrolysis of bovine hoof keratin;
- (ii) hydrolysates of weight average molecular weight approximately 150 obtained by controlled acid hydrolysis; and
- (iii) hydrolysates containing, on their peptide chain, quaternary ammonium groups comprising at least one C.sub.10 -C.sub.18 fatty chain.
4. Composition according to claim 1 wherein the milk proteins are selected from the group consisting of casein and whey proteins obtained from cow's milk or from milk by-products resulting from cheese- or butter-making, and their hydrolysates.
5. Composition according to claim 1 wherein the milk proteins are selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) caseins obtained from skimmed milk by precipitation, by acid treatment, by lactic fermentation or using rennet, and then dried, and their hydrolysates;
- (ii) whey proteins, separated from whey by ultrafiltration, electrodialysis, ion exchange chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, and their hydrolysates;
- (iii) buttermilk proteins and their hydrolysates;
- (iv) so-called "total" proteins obtained from skimmed milk, and their hydrolysates;
- and mixtures thereof.
6. Composition according to claim 1 which is in the form of an optionally thickened aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic lotion or the form of a gel.
7. Composition according to claim 1, which is packaged in the form of a pump bottle for application in the form of an atomization or spray, or packaged as an aerosol for application in the form of a spray or mousse.
8. Composition according to claim 1 wherein the cosmetically acceptable medium contains water and/or an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of monohydric alcohols having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and polyhydric alcohols, used alone or mixed, said solvent being present in proportions not exceeding 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
9. Composition according to claim 1 which further contains additives compatible with the milk proteins, their hydrolysates and the keratin hydrolysates, selected from the group consisting of emollients, lubricants, penetrating agents, stabilizers, perfumes, thickening agents, preservatives, plasticizers, cationic agents, polymers, silicones and animal or vegetable proteins, optionally quaternized.
10. Composition according to claim 1 which further contains from 0.05 to 5% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of optionally crosslinked acrylic acid polymers, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, the sodium salts of carboxymethylcellose and ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymers.
11. Composition according to claim 1, packaged as an aerosol for application in the form of a spray or mousse, which contains a propellant agent selected from the group consisting of n-butane, propane, isobutane, chlorinated hydrocarbons, fluorinated hydrocarbons, chlorinated and fluorinated hydrocarbons, mixtures thereof, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
12. Composition according to claim 11, which contains a propellent agent selected from the group consisting of n-butane, isobutane, propane, monofluorotrichloromethane, and mixtures thereof.
13. Composition according to claim 11, packaged as an aerosol for application in the form of a spray, which contains from 20 to 80% by weight of propellent agent relative to the total weight of the composition.
14. Composition according to claim 11, packaged as an aerosol for application in the form of a mousse, which contains from 2 to 15% by weight of propellent agent relative to the total weight of the composition.
15. Composition according to claim 1 used for the shaping of hair or the fixing of hair as treatment product which can be applied after dyeing or bleaching, after shampooing or after permanent-waving or straightening of hair.
16. Composition according to claim 15 for the shaping of hair, wherein the total concentration of milk protein or of milk protein hydrolysates and of keratin hydrolysate is between 0.1 and 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
17. Composition according to claim 15, for the fixing of hair wherein the total concentration of milk protein or of milk protein hydrolysate and of keratin hydrolysate is between 0.2 and 15% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
18. Process for the cosmetic treatment of hair, intended for promoting the holding thereof, wherein at least one milk protein or milk protein hydrolysate and at least one keratin hydrolysate of weight average molecular weight between 100 and 200,000 are applied in a cosmetically acceptable medium to wet or dried hair, by means of a composition as defined in claim 1.
